The New York State Board of Elections is opting to wait for the courts to rule on the eligibility of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, signaling that the board would be open to taking his name off state ballots.
In a November 3 letter, the NYSBOE informed U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby that the state agency is taking “no position” in the matter of Trump’s candidacy and that it will “abide by any orders of judgements of the court.”
It won’t make much of a difference if only states that would vote Democrat anyway take him off the ballot.
If enough do, that could give one of Trump’s republican rivals momentum in Trump states.
Not if it’s a primary ballot
Think of the down ballot races. When tiny hands orange man isn’t on the ballot, how many MAGA Rs stay home b.c. their cult leader isn’t there? It would majorly shift the non-presidential races.
